Slow-cooker pulled pork / Slow-cooker hamlapjes in saus

(voor Nederlands even scrollen)What exactly is pulled pork? Ever since I read about pulled pork sandwiches I wondered.. Short from going to the States and sample I had to make it myself I guess. A documentary on tv settled it, I was going to try. Not sure what the documentary was about really, what stood out for me was the guy visiting some restaurant known for it's bbq-ed pulled pork. We had some really great sunny days already but somehow Bbq is always a spur of the moment thing in our house (weather in the Netherlands) and usually it's nothing more adventurous then sausages/hamburgers/chicken. Let's hope the cookbook that the kids got DH will inspire hehe.

I used Andrea's recipe as a base, halving the quantities and fiddled around some of the ingredients that are not available here. We tried it on buns, but we all thought it needed some oomph. The next day I reduced the sauce some more, added extra salt and pepper and some heat by means of smoked red pepper, some extra ancho chili pepper, added a fair amount of mixed vegetables and used it as a filling for tortillas. A little cheesy béchamel sauce on top and baked in the oven until golden... Pulled pork tortilla lasagna? Really very good!

Wonderful! It's really grand how the internet leads us to take the traditional from one place and twist it pretty much all around the globe and turn out gorgeous dinner!! And the name ... Pulled Pork Tortilla Lasagna ... marvelous!
